Greater Big Spring Rotary searches for local talent

Big Spring’s Got Talent scheduled for Feb. 1

Let your talent shine!

The Greater Big Spring Rotary Club is looking for talent across Big Spring and Howard County, to showcase in the first Big Spring’s Got Talent competition on Feb. 1, at the Big Spring Municipal Auditorium.

“We have so many talented people in Big Spring, from singers to comedians, to wonderfully talented photographers and painters,” Hayley Herrera, Big Spring Rotary Club member said. “We want to showcase the talent that exists right here in Big Spring.”

Registration is now open for all ages. Those who are under the age of 18 will need parent’s permission at registration, before they can apply. The competition will be open to those not residing in Big Spring, according to Herrera.

“Not only is this an opportunity to showcase the talent we have in our community, from the ages of 5 years old all the way up to our seasoned residents, but those competing will have an opportunity to take some prize money home,” she said.

Since the talent showcase is one of the fundraisers hosted by Greater Big Spring Rotary, there is a $25 entry fee and there will be an admission to the show, at the auditorium. Monies raised, according to the Greater Big Spring Rotary, will go towards the purchase of a new scoreboard for Memorial Stadium. “Rotary gives back to our community and to Rotary International throughout the year in many different ways,” she said. “We give bikes to local elementary students for perfect attendance, amongst other projects that will help someone or a local cause directly.”

She continued, “In addition to local support, Rotary is very dedicated in the fight to End Polio Now. These fundraisers that we host throughout the year help us get one step closer to each of these goals.” After the talent showcase wraps up, the Greater Big Spring Rotary will be focusing on the next big fundraising event, Pints for Polio.

“Pints for Polio is an opportunity for the community to

support the fight against polio and to come find out about Rotary and the greater mission that is served by its members,” she said. “We are hoping that Big Spring's Got Talent will match that event.”

Those wanting to sign up for the visual arts competition, will have their work displayed on the Mezzanine at the Hotel Settles from Jan. 27, 2020 – Feb. 1 and will be judged by the citizens of Big Spring.

“Whether your talent is singing, dancing, comedy

or visual arts, we encourage you to sign up,” Herrera said. “Let's join together and showcase the talent that Big Spring and Howard County holds.”
